NA plugs the same as TII plugs?
I grabbed 5 brand new plugs out of a GXL in the junkyard, I was wondering if they'll work in my S5 TII.

By brand new I mean they were still in their boxes in the storage bins. I didn't yank 'em out the side of the engine. They're brand spanking new. Jeez you guys!

But you didn't say that did you? Those who can't read minds assumed you got them out of the engine. 
Like Mark said, if you have a pair of BUR7EQ's and a pair of BUR9EQ's, go for it.

Um, right. Now I get to sound like a n00b and laughing is appropriate. I don't knowwhat BUR7EQ or BUR9EQ means. I took the plugs out of my engine and they look nothing like the plugs that I picked out of the junkyard car. Mine looked much different (although I'm guessing all rotary plugs look like these) from the ones I picked up, which have normal electrodes that need to be gapped. If that makes any sense. I think what I'm trying to say is the plugs I got out of the car aren't for an RX-7... (I've only had the car since July and haven't had to change the plugs yet, so don't laugh too much!)

uh...maybe you should leave the wrenching to someone who knows what they are doing.
BUR7EQ and 9...those are PART NUMBERS. Yeah...you know, those little numbers PRINTED ON THE SPARK PLUGS? Yeah, those.
IF the part numbers are those, they are stock 86+ rotary plugs. IF not, they are for something different. DO NOT put plugs with standard electrodes into a rotary, you can grenade the motor by physical interference. There are racers, tuners, and owners of highly modded turbo engines that experiment with other plugs with different properties and heat ranges, some of which are standard electrode plugs...but they have made damn sure there will be no interference with the rotary. I have taken apart core motors that died from physical interference because some dumbass put some standard electrode plugs in their rotary and busted the apex seals in half.
Put the tools down and step away...slowly.
